I made minimum wage 1 time in my life and that was after I graduated high school and I never made it again.

You set up a condition where the majority of the free education users become the new minimum wage class. Water seeks it's own level. Anyone, no matter how poor, who has the capability and the drive, can get into and through a for payment college or technical school. Yes, they'll most likely graduate with significant debt, but that is nothing new (ask any white collar professional from any generation). But they'll also graduate with the capability to service that debt AND to have a long higher paying career.

I'm not among those who quote Buffett but are you saying that if someone agrees with a person on some things they must agree with that person on all things?
